Sure thing. Please contact me off-list to discuss when to do this. I'm not
entirely sure it can be tomorrow. I would like to have other Python maintainers
there, especially those who have been involved in RHEL 8 Python modularization
and Petr Viktorin (the team-lead) is on vacation tomorrow.

After tomorrow, I’m out of the office for two weeks. So I may see if I can brain-dump to Petr and have him meet with you folks.


A meeting sounds good, I cleaned out my calendar for next week.

I will try to do that, but I'm seriously biased here. I try not to be, but it's
getting harder with every modularity thread on this list.

I understand. It’s been a rough road and it’s easy to get discouraged. I really feel like we are approaching the finish line and shouldn’t give up just yet!

Thank you for keeping an open mind. Your help and feedback has been invaluable.
